US 112 Michigan 1926 Road Sign Decal: A Visual Journey Through Time

This decal recreates the iconic U.S. 112 highway sign as it appeared in Michigan during the inaugural year of the U.S. Highway System, 1926. The design is a direct tribute to a pivotal era of American transportation and the burgeoning automotive culture that shaped the nation.

The Classic Silhouette

The sign's shape is instantly recognizable: a classic cutout silhouette with a flat top, gently curving sides, and a sharply pointed bottom. This form was the standard for the initial U.S. highway markers, signifying a commitment to clear and standardized road signage across the country.

Color and Contrast

The color scheme is stark and effective: a crisp white background provides the perfect canvas for the bold black elements. The black border, lettering, and numerals provide a high degree of contrast, ensuring legibility at a glance, a crucial requirement for roadside signage.

Lettering and Numerals

At the top of the sign, the simple “U.S.” in small uppercase letters indicates that the route is part of the national highway network. Below, the bold black numerals "112" identify the specific route. This clear and concise presentation ensures drivers could quickly identify their destination and the route they needed to take.

Symbolism

The design as a whole represents a simpler time, when the open road symbolized freedom and adventure. It pays homage to the early days of automobile travel and the growth of the American highway system. Displaying this sign signifies a connection to a rich history of travel, exploration, and the evolution of transportation in the United States.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
